For 1 point, name the maker of this truck.
Up to Expert level.
the statue of Robert Burns behind the truck is located in a very lot of countries:
England, US, Canada, Scotland and Australia, so I began: english?
Thinking Scottish, rather than English, is it an Argyll?

The photo was taken in Australia, and the truck is English.

No, sorry, not an Argyll, and not Scottish.

Alldays?
QuoteAlldays?

Yes, that's what I was thinking but if it's not that I'll try Straker-Squire

No, sorry. Although, good guess and getting closer. This truck would have been about on par with a Straker-Squire.
Well an obvious Scottish maker with a two-part name is Arrol Johnston, but I can't easily find anything that looks like this one. ???
Armstrong-Whitworth?

It isn't Scottish. This truck was made a lot further South.
QuoteArmstrong-Whitworth?
No, sorry. This make made a lot of buses, which may help.
The one make I almost disregarded was Milnes-Daimler on account of their focus on buses?
That's the one. It's a Milnes-Daimler, which I think were only built before WW1. 1 point for you.
My source tells me that Milnes-Daimler were active 1901-1914 and immediately ceased production at the outbreak of WW I as you suggested.
I have to say I enjoyed researching vehicles of this era (a period about which I'm lacking in knowledge).
Perhaps I'll tackle more of your puzzles in the future (if they reach Pro-status).
